Yogurt Dog Treats: Easy Frozen Snacks with Berries

• Fresh strawberries, washed, dried, de‑stemmed, and diced into ¼‑inch pieces​
• Fresh blueberries, washed and dried​
• Plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened and unflavored; nonfat or low‑fat if needed for your dog’s diet)​

You’ll also need silicone molds or an ice cube tray that’s safe for the freezer. Bone or paw‑shaped molds are fun, but any small cavity works.​

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the berries

1. Rinse the strawberries and blueberries well, then pat them dry with a clean towel.​
2. Remove the green tops from the strawberries and cut out any tough white cores. Dice the strawberries into small ¼‑inch pieces so they freeze and bite easily. Keep the blueberries whole if they are small; larger ones can be halved.​

Fill the molds

3. Place your silicone molds or ice cube tray on a flat baking sheet for easy transfer to the freezer.
4. Add a small amount of diced strawberries and blueberries to the bottom of each cavity, filling it about one‑third to halfway with fruit. This ensures each treat has a mix of berries.​

Add the yogurt

5. Spoon plain Greek yogurt over the berries in each mold, filling to the top.
6. Use the back of the spoon or a small offset spatula to smooth the surface and help the yogurt settle around the fruit. Gently tap the tray on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles.​

Freeze and unmold

7. Transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the treats are completely solid.​
8. Once frozen, pop the treats out of the silicone molds. If using a rigid ice cube tray, let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes so the treats release more easily.​
9. Place the unmolded treats in a freezer‑safe container or bag and keep them frozen until you’re ready to serve.
